3. Remove spark plug and replace if any of the following occur;
pitted electrodes, burned electrodes, cracked porcelain, or
deposits around electrodes.
4. After analysis, seat spark plug and tighten with spark plug
wrench to compress the sealing washer. SEE FIGURE 11 on

Over tightened spark plug may damage threads in the
cylinder head.
Spark Plug Maintenance
Spark plug should be removed, cleaned and gap adjusted after
approximately fifty hours of operating time.

plugs. Microscopic particles remaining in the plug may
score the engine cylinder during operation. Use solvent
and a wire brush to clean the plug and compressed air to
blow out completely.
